WeGo Public Transit is hosting a series of meetings to record public feedback about proposed strategic service reductions and a fare increase for the upcoming fiscal year beginning July 1. These proposed changes are in response to an $8.7 million operating budget deficit for the next fiscal year.
The proposed service reductions would be a combination of rescheduling, rerouting, combining and, in some cases, eliminating routes that exceed a reasonable cost to operate. These changes would impact several routes that serve the Vanderbilt University area.
Read more about the proposed service and fare changes here.
Through Vanderbilt’s Easy Ride program, all full-time Vanderbilt faculty, staff, undergraduates and graduate students are eligible to ride to and from campus for free on WeGo Public Transit buses using their Vanderbilt ID.
